Now for the play! This chapter is the first half, and the second half will be next time.
Chapter Twelve
Ran was badly shaken, but wasn't really that injured, as the whip hadn't actually touched her, but had cracked on empty air. After shooing off a furious Kogoro (Shinichi mysteriously disappeared), everything went back to normal, minus one camp director. The assistant was promoted instead.
The rest of the week passed smoothly, and Ran and Sonoko got used to the other five's increasingly frequent 'heart attacks'. Soon, Friday night rolled around, and they had to show off their skit to everyone. Sonoko was ecstatic, since it was a romantic drama, and it had been approved by everyone. Sonoko made fliers and posted them all over camp. They read:

End of School Day…
"Conan! What are you doing today?" asked Rin.
"Not much. I'm just going to go take a nap."
"What, no cases? No detective novels?"
"Nah, not today."
"Conan-kun!" came a voice suddenly, interrupting their banter.
"Ayumi-chan!" exclaimed Conan and Rin together. "What are you doing here?" asked Conan.
"Well…I was just wondering if you'd like to come with me to Tropical Land tomorrow!" said Ayumi. She was clearly nervous.
Conan didn't see Rin's sudden look of horror, and said, "You mean like a date?"
"Well, I have two free tickets I won in a raffle. And you can only get in for free if both tickets are used at the same time! And you were the first person to come to mind! So will you come?"
"Uh, sure Ayumi-chan! I'll meet you outside the gate at 10 AM on Saturday!"
"Thank you Conan-kun!" exclaimed Ayumi happily, running off with a HUGE grin on her face.

Tropical Land
"Conan-kun!" shouted Ayumi, waving at him as he ran up, panting.
"Hi Ayumi-chan! Been waiting long?"
"No." She pulled out two tickets and said, "Care to join me?"
"Sure," said Conan. He took a ticket from her, and they both went inside, neither of them noticing four figures watching them.
"Oi!" said Genta, when the other two had moved away, "Since when did Conan and Ayumi start dating?"
"I think it's just a friend date," said Rin.
"Is this why you invited all of us to come here today?" asked Ai coolly.
Rin flinched and said, "No. It's just that Conan wasn't going to be around, so I thought I'd hang out with you guys."
"Yeah," said Mitsuhiko, clearly not buying it. "You're the only one who knew they were coming, and you set up the date and time for us to come. Isn't it a bit coincidental that we're here at the same time and place they are?"
"It is weird!" said Genta loudly. "Oh I think I know why we're here! You're jealous Rin!"
"Is that true Rin-chan?" asked Mitsuhiko.
"Of…of course not!" said Rin heatedly. "I'm just as surprised as you all!"
Ai just stared at her, before leading the way inside.
END SCENE
Isn't it weird how plays reflect real life? Anyways, the next chapter is the latter half of the play, and includes some humor. I'm also thinking of parodying the latter half of the Desperate Revival arc (if you don't know what that is, look it up on DCW). Oh and tell me how the play was!
